Dear Sam and family. What a lovely picture of Mary! I got to know the two of your briefly thru Conversations With Lauren. I loved watching Mary's face light up when she would talk about music! After meeting me just once, she would enter the room and hug me. It was a pleasure knowing her and I'm certain each member of the family has lots of memories to treasue!! Hold her in your heart and have peace!
